GingerRobot Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Just for a hobby really. Unfortunately i don't have the time to do any freelancing, otherwise i could make some money out of this hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kts Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 It started as a hobby. Then I realized I could do it professionally. Then I realized I could make good money. Then I realized I was in front of a computer way too long. Then I came back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Little Guy Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I do it for both, but my "Hobby" sites never look like "Hobby" sites, but business sites. I just can never get the hobbies look down. Then in the end I place ads on my "hobby" sites. So are they still a hobby site? IDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpSensei Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I quit programming couple of days ago, computer addiction is a nasty and unhealthy activity. I went back to my old self, the 17 year old normal guy, loves sports, and is more social (Sounds corny, but I am Serious). I made aloooot of money with programming, I think more then 20 grand last year.... Anyways I am proud of learning it, but its time to stop. edit: My last client wants a porn site, what a way to end my side job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I started was www.getafreelancer.com, and then I got recognized by many people, and I was recommended alot. I made so much money one month, my dad didn't work for weeks... He was actually a programmer back in his days, learning language c, visual basics...etc I bought my first hot car because of the money i saved up... Its a Acura RSX haha, my dream was to create the next operating system like windows xp, mac..etc *dream tears apart* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on my site and when I'm done with everything I may throw it up somewhere. Making some serious money is the only way I'll be able to afford a a hot car. How many clients did you have at once, and is it demanding? And those are some high aspirations, but that'd be an amazing accomplishment.

How many clients did you have at once, and is it demanding? And those are some high aspirations, but that'd be an amazing accomplishment. I got 3 - 5 clients a week, sometimes 2, sometimes 1.... Try to stick with small projects with a budget in range of 50 - 200$ then work your way up. The jobs are pretty demanding if you have school, a job, a family, a wife (women *eye roll*) ,homework...etc. I got by all those because i made a schedual or i usually finished homework at school. Although if I needed a pair of new shoes, new ward drobe, an ipod...etc I would just call some of my clients who had more work for me, and I found myself with what I wanted in the next couple of hours. If your a fast thinker, worker, and gots a flexible working time, then it will be to your great advantage. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your a fast thinker, worker, and gots a flexible working time, then it will be to your great advantage. Good luck I find myself to be a fast worker, but I'm too maticulous for my own good. I see what your saying, and I think at the moment I could handle some smaller jobs. Although, I go to tough little private school in my state and lately it has been taking up too much of my time :-\ I think if I planned it out, I could potentially stay on top of things. Although friends and the social life (reason why you stopped) would certainly take a toll, but I think I could manage that. Can you explain to me what a "$50-$200" is? I'm thinking of a simple login-script, with specific user capablites, a simple DB, few tables, and a few pages to display whatever the user wants. Maybe a day or twos worth of work? You've really got me interested. I've been picking up the pace, I want something to display soon. I'm thinking this summer will be different Thanks.

phpSensei Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 50-200 can be probably a Register System, User Login, Edit Profile, Update Profile, Admin Control. That would be a 3 day work for a 200$ job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepage Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Definitely a mix of both. At the moment it's more for fun than anything else, but I'd like to get it to be more business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
